Thanksfor the insight. I'll play around a bit with that. I too say some overlap with FF Blues but not enough for me to break it down. Best,EH

--Previous Message--: Yeah, it is a little off his usual play in E. : I'm familiar with Walkin' My Troubles Away : and Funny Feelin' Blues, and this song does : have some similarities to the latter, : especially when he goes to the V chord (B7) : and takes it up 2 frets (sorta to the VI : chord) and back down, at least in the bass. : And he uses the same double pull-off on the : IV (A7). He seems to have two parts, the : 1st, like a verse, and the 2nd, with the : "Lordy Lord" is like a chorus. In : the "verse" he seems to go to a : quick V chord, moving it up 2 frets and : back, like in the turnaround, then to the IV : chord. In the "chorus" he seems to : stay in the I chord and play around the VI : note on the 2nd fret of the 2nd string, and : whern he brushes it I think it sounds like : he is sometimes catching the open 3rd : string, so he's lifting one finger while : he's putting down the other. He may be : throwing in a bend on the 3rd fret of the : 6th string somewhere, too. : : Well, that's just a quick take, I haven't : loaded it into Transcribe! or anything, and : there are a lot better ears around here than : mine, but I hope that helps you out some. I : hope you have a good washboard player. I : think Red is great on this number and there : may not be enough going on without it. : : Good luck. : : Anyone else? : : All for now. : John C. : : : --Previous Message-- : Has anyone taken a crack at figuring out BB : Fuller's "Big Leg Woman Gets My : Pay"? I think it's in the key of E but : it is quite a departuer from his standard : forms. Any help appreciated. : : :
